I knew my husband was a keeper when he cooked me dinner on our third date.

Scott made a simple meal: mushrooms and potatoes in a foil pack, served with a salad.

I cherish this memory.

I also remember feeling GREAT afterwards.

I even started thinking, “I need to cook meals like this for myself.”(Back then I was on the standard “college” diet and knew it wasn’t good for me.)

That meal showed me cooking doesn’t have to be time-consuming. You can make simple meals and enjoy them. Plus the satisfaction and energy you feel afterwards makes the time you did spend worth it.

Today, cooking is how I love myself.

It’s also how I love my husband. Eating plant-based is something we’re doing for each other.

When 2 of our relatives were diagnosed with cancer last year, we got scared. We’re still scared but, by eating plant-based meals every week, at least I can say we’re doing the best we can.

Eating healthy definitely makes me feel sexy and confident.

I also don’t experience bloat or gas after these meals. I hate that part about eating out… feeling like you need to fart or that your pants are too tight is definitely NOT what you want to experience on a date night!

You’ll really FEEL THE LOVE when you connect with 2,234 other folks making the transition to more plant-based cooking.

It feels so good to belong somewhere and be a part of something. We want you to join our community :)
